Are fir cones poisonous if eaten by children?

Fir cones are not considered poisonous if eaten, but they are not edible and can cause gastrointestinal discomfort. The seeds inside fir cones may be safe in small quantities, but the cones themselves are tough and difficult to digest. It's best to discourage children from eating fir cones due to the potential for choking and stomach upset. Always consult a healthcare professional if you have concerns about ingestion.
